Celebrate the Year of the Horse
Lunar New Year is a time-honored tradition celebrated across many cultures in Asia and around the world. It marks the beginning of a new lunar calendar year and is often associated with renewal, prosperity, and hope. This year, the community will come together to ring in the Year of the Horse.
The Horse symbolizes energy, independence, and determination.

As families and friends gather at Burton Park, they’ll be embracing not only a cultural tradition but also a shared sense of optimism for the year ahead.

The lineup of food vendors will offer something for every palate, making it easy to turn your visit into a delightful midday feast.
Supporting local food trucks also means supporting small businesses within the community. It’s a wonderful opportunity to discover new favorites while enjoying the festive surroundings.

Throughout the event, live performances will bring movement, music, and culture to the park. Expect colorful displays, engaging rhythms, and performances that honor the traditions and artistry associated with Lunar New Year celebrations.
These performances are not only entertaining but also educational, offering a glimpse into the cultural heritage behind the holiday. Children and adults alike will be captivated by the sights and sounds that fill the park, creating lasting memories for everyone in attendance.
Fun Crafts for All Ages
Creativity will be in full swing with fun crafts designed for all ages. Craft stations will allow children and families to make themed decorations and keepsakes inspired by Lunar New Year traditions. These hands-on activities provide a meaningful way to learn about the holiday while expressing artistic flair.
From vibrant paper creations to symbolic designs, each craft offers a chance to slow down, connect, and create something special. Parents can enjoy watching their children explore new ideas, while older participants can rediscover the joy of simple, creative expression.
